Rubin Takes the Family Pot
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Russell Rosenblum opened to 1,000,000 from under the gun with A♠J♣ and Meng Dian Peng called from middle position holding A♣Q♠. Jed Friedman was in the hijack and also called with K♥Q♥. Antony Rubin called with Q♦J♦ from the small blind and Seiji Sasaki also joined the pot after a long tank from the big blind with A♥10♣.
The 2♣Q♣J♥ flop saw Rubin shove for 4,300,000 and Sasaki folded. Rosenblum tank folded, and Peng raised to 11,7250,000 with just 1,200,000 not committed to the pot.
Friedman counted out his stack and stared at the board before finding the fold, leaving the pair to go heads up.
Antony Rubin: Q♦J♦
Meng Dian Peng: A♣Q♠
There was no change on the 5♥ turn and 2♠ river, and Rubin locked up the pot.
